I did my 1st blood test 7/15/2009. The reason I did this test was because I had zero sex drive, no energy, storing fat and just felt mentally very unclear. I was working out hard and have always ate very clean and was still holding the fat no matter what I did. So I did the test below.
7/15/2009
Test- 453 (241-827)
Free Test (Direct) 9.8 (8.7-25.1)
TSH- 1.350 (.450-4.5)
DHEA- 267 (120-520)
IGF-1- 146 (115-307)
Then on 7/28/2009 we did more testing to see if we could determine why test and especially free test were low.
7/28/2009
LH- 1.5 (1.5-9.3)
FSH- 2.4 (1.4-18.1)
Estrodial- 31 (0-53)
7/30/2009 Doctor decided to inject 200MG of depo Test and retest levels which we did on 8/04/09
TSH .596 (.450-4.500) WOW, super odd not sure what happened here???
T4- 1.31 (.61-1.76)
TEST- 1467 (241-827)
FREE TEST- 39.9 (8.7-25.1)
During this time I felt great sex drive was finally back, great moods, very alert, memory was greatly improved and so on. My doctor did not know much about injecting test the 1467 test number scared him so he said no second injection.
We tested on 8/13/2009 as he wanted to see what my levels were at now. During this time I felt about the same as I used to feel before the shot, like ****, i did feel a little worse I was a little more tired and got headaches.
8/13/2009
Test- 182
Free Test- 4.1
Prolactin- 4.7 (2.1-17.7)
8/14/2009 I did some research about re-start protocols and talked my doctor into one of them
I took HCG m,w,f 300mg injected for 3 weeks total
Clomid 100mgs a day split 50mg morning and 50 mg afternoon 4 weeks
Nolva 20 mg, 10 morning and 10 at night 4 weeks
I felt better on this and for about 2 months after it but I have slowly started to feel like **** again. HCG took fat off me like no other, sorry for the side note.
We retested on 9/30 about 2 weeks after the end of the restart.
9/30/2009
Test 579
Free Test 14.1
LH- 5.7
I have started to feel like **** again, no sex drive what so ever, no morning wood, very moody, no zest for life, no energy, mentally unclear and so on. So we re-tested on 1/12/2009
1/12/2009
DHEA 691 (146-850)
TEST 563
FREE TEST 11.7
LH 3.8
I am not sure where to go from here. From the research I have done, this would point to secondary hypogonadism. My LH is starting to fall again, I wish we would have tested FSH. I have worked with many docs on this and no one seems to have a clue about male hormones. The endo I met with said she would not talk to me unless my total test was under 100 and my hair was falling out. One of the other docs I have worked with says we might need to look deeper into the thyroid??? I am tired of feeling like ****, do you have any suggestions???
